Perfect for a visit to the Dana-Thomas House

Reviewed By kansasrod

Wanted a place close to the Dana-Thomas House and this is walking distance less than 2 blocks away. Lovely choice with a Bed-and-Breakfast feel with 15 spacious rooms. We live in a house built in 1898 so creaky wooden stairs, etc., made us feel right at home. Our room 301 had a claw foot tub with a wrap-around shower. High step into the shower and probably not a good choice for handicapped or wheelchair although there is an elevator. Amazing for the price with wine and cheese offered from 4-6 PM. We arrived at 6:30 and Megan got out some for us. Less than 2-block walk to the Dana-Thomas house. Huge parking lot because they also host "events." Very spacious and we will stay again now that we know. Pay attention to 4-8 PM arrival window and day's breakfast at 8 o'clock.

The Best Bed & Breakfast Ever

Reviewed By wcdiamondlake

This was the best bed & breakfast I have ever stayed at. The rooms were beautiful in this old mansion. We were fortunate to get the Tower Room which I believe is the honeymoon suite. Booked this as a surprise for my wife on our 45th anniversary. It was the best choice ever. Paul is the most gracious host ever. The breakfasts which were served were nothing short of amazing. If staying in Galena, this is the place to be. Thank you so much Cloran for an unforgettable few days.

Oak Park and Beyond

Reviewed By circlesailing

We were in Chicagoland to visit family in Elmhurst, where the housing options aren't great... either large convention hotels or depressing chains. Oak Park is 20-min. drive from there, and about the same travel time to the city via the El or Metra trains. And it's a pretty, historic area to stay. Harvey House is at a convenient location: it's near the train stations and about a 10-min walk to the shops & restaurants of Oak Park. A very comfortable, clean, and well-furnished room. The breakfast was great and there's a nice area to eat inside or out. Thanks for such an enjoyable stay, Beth!

Relaxing stay in Galena

Great service and only 5 minutes from downtown. This is a modern Inn, not an old house. Clean. Fireplace. Fridge. Nice breakfast (hard-boiled eggs, bagels, yogurt). We make sure we get a room with a Hot Tub. Ramona and her staff (Alfredo and wife) are always helpful. Highly Recommend!!

For travelers and locals alike, the Publishing House is your house.

Please don't tell anyone about this place!!

I really want The Publishing House to stay a secret. It is such a cozy, lovely, wonderful place to stay. From the Press Room wine bar in the basement to the creative delicious breakfasts to the coziest bed I have experienced at any hotel/bed&breakfast. The West Loop area around the Publishing House is full of great restaurants and cute shops within walking distance. We never had any issue getting an Uber or Lyft and there is a pink/green line stop just a few blocks away. We stayed in the Everleigh which is spacious and filled with light. The steam shower alone would bring me back, such a delight after a long day walking around Chicago. We truly enjoyed our stay. Of course the highlight for everyone were Angus & Louie who we spent a quiet evening with in front of the fireplace, such gentlemen.

Great people and a nice place to stay!

Reviewed By GandNadventures

We felt right at home staying with Jan and Lorraine. They were sweet and very helpful with anything we were looking for. We stayed in the Victorian room which was nice although a little small. The house was beautiful and I really enjoyed looking at all of the antiques and artwork. It was pretty old-fashioned which I didn't mind, but which might turn off other travelers. The breakfast was delicious and our hosts were very sensitive to food allergies etc. when preparing our meal. I will definitely be staying here again when we return to Galena!

Aldrich Guest House

With over 50 years of combined experience in the hospitality/service industry between the two of us, we've been able to create a place where you can relax and be yourself without judgement. We break the stereotype when it comes to bed and breakfasts - no crazy wallpaper, baby dolls, or doilies, and definitely no pretension! What you will find is fresh decor that while elegant is still relaxing, award-winning homemade food, and service that is intuitive and personalized yet laid back and unobtrusive. We believe that just because we provide a beautiful place to stay doesn't mean we have to be hoity toity. Aldrich Guest House is also the first and only cannabis friendly bed and breakfast in Illinois! We have built a separate 'tiny house' for guests to consume in while they're here making sure that everyone can enjoy their stay in whatever way they want while still respecting each other. You deserve a break - relax, unwind, and be yourself at Aldrich Guest House! Robert and Douglas, Innkeepers/Owners

Fabulous, Friendly, and Fun

Reviewed By sheilamO3395GX

The Aldrich Guest House is fantastic! We had a three-day stay in May and enjoyed every moment. 1. The historic (and lovingly restored) house is comfortable and conveniently located (an easy 6-7 minute walk to downtown shopping and restaurants). Our room was cozy and inviting. 2. The breakfasts were gourmet all the way - delicious and beautifully presented! 3. The best part of the experience? The proprietors! Robert and Douglas are the best hosts you could hope for - fun, engaging, attentive, and knowledgeable. We will be back!

Arthur's Country Inn

Super clean, quiet, friendly inn in the heart of Illinois Amish country. Sit and relax out on the porch and watch as the horses and buggies go by. Very convenient to shops and restaurants.

Disappointed

Reviewed By TravelingFreeWoman

There are not many choices to stay locally. My sisters and I were only staying for 2 nights so we were not picky. We made reservations by phone with the same person who checked us in upon arrival. I believe it was the owner's granddaughter. She did not remember that we were staying two nights and only had us reserved for one. The room was a basic, no frills place but it was clean. The connecting door was unlocked and we couldn't get it to lock from our side. We slept with a chair under the knob, old-style security! The next day when we spoke about it at the front desk, we were told that the guy next door wouldn't bother us! When she came to our room to see if she could get it locked, she allowed her dog to enter our room with her and put her new baby on our bed. It kind of felt like we were in Mayberry. I certainly didn't feel safe with the connecting door not locking and I definitely didn't want a dog in my room. The baby was cute though!
